More Updates - Nimin and myself
10 months ago
So figured I should do an update, since it's been a while.
First, v0.975 has been removed by mods for some content flagging. It's stuff that had been flagged years ago, got tweaked to be appropriate, got the okay from Dragoneer himself, and now some 15 years later (10 years since there's been any change to the post), it got flagged again for some reason. The mod that I was communicating with offered to do a more thorough review, but I haven't heard back yet. I'm not too worried at this point, the game already had stuff that I didn't feel represented what I wanted to do anyways, and it's still available via other sites. The only thing I'll miss, though, is the hundreds of comments that were pretty cool to check out after all these years.
As for a new Nimin, it's still pretty hobbled after what happened last year. Back in April I did manage to get quite a bit of progress, but it was essentially re-doing all the stuff I did in 2023. Haven't had much progress since, but I feel like I'm getting close to a norm now and might be able to get back to it with more force. But suffice it to say, things will likely take much longer.
With regards to last year, I figure I can provide some details at this point. My dad had been battling cancer for a couple of years, already making things a little stressful. Last year things went downhill with a lot of being in the hospital. That's when I posted the last journal. My dad seemed to have stabilize, which is why I thought I could get back to Nimin, but shortly after that journal he passed away suddenly. So yeah, life really took a tangent to take care of that and family.
It's nearly a year later and things have mostly settled - we've all tried to get back to a new normal. I'm doing well, I even went to MFF last year and all the friends there were very supportive, it was very nice. This whole situation has also reminded me of how much life had stalled for the past several years, so a lot of my motivated-time has been getting ahead on those things. I really need to find a life partner if I want any hope of starting a family. So Nimin takes a backseat for a bit longer.
Anyways, yeah, I'll see if I get back to Nimin in earnest soon. I will be at MFF again this year. This time I will be hitting the dating apps harder; last year was a bit of a wash for obvious reasons, lol.

Whatever comes of the future, thank you for your efforts! It's even just nice to hear things from you periodically.
Be safe and try to be happy <3
As for Nimin, it'll always be in my hear and I'll be forever looking forward to it, however life always takes first place. Take care of yourself!
But I am glad things are okish presently <3
It's not even a withhold for check but a full delete what's just insanely disrespectfull towards the ppl who created the content of the post.
I also REALLY HOPE you're making a game similar to this still.
